Heavy.com put together the audio of the police and medical dispatch. Apparently Jones came into the Foxboro Police Station in a confused state, and he “required medical and mental evaluation”. One of  the officers made this statement in the audio:

“I got his keys off the kitchen table, I was able to lock the front door. If you want to just pass along to the fire, he was definitely involved with class D delta before this happened, just so they know.”

As per an SBNation article, synthetic marijuana isn’t on the NFL’s banned substance list, but can lead to a player being placed in the league’s substance abuse program. This incident comes after brother Jon’s positive cocaine test a year ago, and his confession to MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani that he was “addicted to marijuana” a few months ago.

The Patriots have confirmed that Chandler has missed no team functions and has been at practice every day.
